Understand Data Quality Services in MSBI ?

In this article we will thoroughly discuss about (DQS) DATA QUALITY SERVICES in MSBI(SSIS, SSAS and SSRS) we have to tried to keep this article as simple as possible to deliver the most of out it to the reader.

So without wasting time here and there, we will come to straight point and directly start with our article agenda around (DQS) DATA QUALITY SERVICES in MSBI

Now have a look at the data it comes from outside and mostly coming from common end users so there are high chances of bad data coming in which will lead to increase work of MSBI developer to transform it into good data so in short end user is responsible to provide good data or bad data.

Our topic hero, "DQS" which is a service which will help common end user as well as MSBI developer to make their raw data into a good data.

Before moving with DQS service we would also like to bring in notice that the end user resolve maximum amount of bad data issue just before it goes into ETL process(SSIS).

Nataraj, Staedler and Pencil -> pencil

kores and rubber -> rubber
